night last week in Memphis, Tenn, a WriSer

An instant before had heard runabline
noise as if train Of cars were passing ever

fifty feet up in the air and apparently only
100 yards from us, span of horses with rsas1ss

rapid pace. The shapes of the animals were
as clearly defined in the atmosphere as ii one5
had seen them hitched to vehicle OF the

an instant before it passed out of sigh out

noise grew less and less distinct every noe

A BLooDTHIRSTY cHINAMAN.
He Makes a Desperate Attempt to Murder
q Whole Family.

latipg to the murder of Mrs. Joseph BilI-
ion by the Chinese cook shows that the
murder was most cold blooded, and is only
equaled in atrocity by the murder of Mr..
and Mrs. Wickersham, of Sonoma County,
about year ago, also by a Chinese cook.
Mrs. Billion, two daughters and a farm
employe named w. H. Weaver were at
supper, when the door opened suddenly
and 2 shot was fred from rifle by Hoah
Henry, the Chinese cook. The bullet
passed through Weayer's left shoulder Just
over the heart, and he fell PROSTATE. Mrs
Billion turned TO see from whence the shot
came, and received bullet which pierced
Der heart and produced instant death.
Weaver, Notwithstanding his serious con-
ditlon, managed to shut the door,
and barricaded it. The Chiuamau
fired shot through the closed door, but
without effect. He then procured an ak,
and after partly breaking the door, changed
his mind and left the immediate vicinity
of the house. Annie Billion went to the
door to note the direction of the murderer s
fight, but a shot from Henry's weapon
caused her to hastily retreat, and again
barY.cade the door. The murderer then
disappeared. Meanwhile their daughter
succeeded in leaving the house unobseryed
by the Chinaman, and gave the alarm at
st. John, which is little over q mike from
the ranch. The pursuit, which was imme-
diately organized, has thus far proved
frultless. 1t the fugitive is caught he will
certainly be lynched. He is eighteen
years old, and has been IN the familys
employ several years. No cause is known
for the crime, except he was forced to as
slst IN house-cleaning, to which he OBJ
iected. Mr.. Billion was absent at the

n nakes total OF fifty-six now in Jail here,
and it is supposed that as many more
have been apprehended at other points
along the line. CONSERVATION prevails
among the proprietors of the fences and
dens where the goods were secreted and
sold. In one instance, the proprietor of a

in this city will be swelled to eighty before
night.
a number of houses in vs-ious parts of
the city were raided to-day and large
quantity of goods recovered. Every man
arrested had stolen goods somewhere.
Among the prisoners are several desperate
characters who were wanted by the police
for other ofenses- They were all armed
and, when not taken by surprise, resisted
arrest. Numbers overpowered them, how
ever, and all were safely lodged in jail.
A special dispatch from Dennison says
the officers have arrested James and w.

of velvets and high-priced dry goods in

LATTER-DAY SAINTS.
Sermon BY President Joseph Smith at Their
Conference Yesterday.
He vigorously Denounces the Mormon
Doctrine of POlygamy-A Public Bap-
tism-Other Services.
HE DENOUNCEs POLYGAMY.
President smiths Sermon at the Confer.
ence of the Latter-Day Saints.

CLEVELAND, April 10.-There was large
attendance of outsiders at the conference
of Latter-day Saints at Kirkland to-day,
the attraction being the sermon by Presi-
dent Joseph Smith against the Mormon
doctrine of polygamy. Mr.. Smith began
his sermon by the emphatic declaration:
81 have no belief in this philosophy of
polygamy. am identified with people
many of whom have gone over with the
extremists and cast their lot with the ad.
vocates of plural marriage. I desire to
state publicly that I am not of their num-
Der. l need make no personal onslaught
on those who accept the polyga-
nous clause in the Mormon rs-
hgion, nor shall /. We ougas u
take it for granted that God knew
what he was about when he created the
world. When the earth was ready for
man, God placed Adam and Eve in the
Garden of Eden. If he had intended two
wives for Adam he would have given them
to him. When Adam and Eve were Joined
together they were immortal and the mar
riage was celestial. Now, there came q
time when it was necessary to begin p0pu-
lafing the earth over again. Men and
women had sinned, and God wished to
crush wiekedness out of the world. If he
had made mistake as the creation in Civ
ing Adam but one wife, here was
order Of things and give Noah
two wives. Did God do so? No.
He commanded Noah to take one wife and
his servants one wife. Do not you, my
brethren, believe that God is wise enough
to have improved that opportunity to
rectify any error in Judgment in parceling
out to man but one helpmeet? But God
had another opportunity to correct the
mlstage, if one had been made, when he
led Levi and his wife out of the land of
Judea. If God had desired TO reverse his
judgment in giving Noah but a single
wife he could have put himself right, but
he did not do it. take these three great
events as proof positive, unanswerable and
overwhelming that God intended man to
have but one wife"
The speaker went on to say that the
Latter-dav Saints stood committed to the
Doctrine of single marriages. Further
proof OF the error of polygamy, he said,
was found in the 23d and oath verses of
the second chapter of Genesis.
There was afterward a public marriage,
Sister Mary Goodin, of Pittsburg being
Joined to Brother John w Lake, of
Canada. There was also public baptism.
Tomorrow will be devoted to business
session.
